The Defender's Advantage: AI for cyber defense

The Defender's Advantage: Using Artificial Intelligence in Cyber Defense

Organizations today sit in different places on the generative artificial intelligence (AI) adoption spectrum, but regardless of where they land, cyber defense teams can benefit from the use of AI solutions to identify threats, manage toil, and scale talent.

The Defender's Advantage uses six critical functions of cyber defense to help achieve a resilient security program.

Mandiant frontline experts have observed how AI can have a significant impact on each of these six critical functions to provide organizations with improved cyber defenses when protecting their critical assets:

Intelligence: Use AI to help determine which threats to focus on, predict future attacks, and summarize threat intelligence reports
Detect: Integrate AI with your security tools to help create detections, tune detections, and baseline logging telemetry
Respond: Use AI to help shorten your analysis timelines and improve your knowledge base for responders
Validate: Use AI to help identify your biggest risks and emulate attacker TTPs to ensure future preparation against them
Hunt: Use AI to improve your threat hunt lifecycle with hypothesis creation, scope assessment, data acquisition, anomaly analysis, and response actions
Mission control: Use AI to enhance overall strategy with governance guidance, tabletop scenarios, and improved internal incident communications
